PUBLIC:

I approached DFJ: Esprit informally to test the waters and gauge their interest on a new venture. They were quick to reply, very approachable and friendly, and gave me sincere feedback and comments on the concept and business model. Most VCs I have encountered over the years have been vague, will string you along, won't bother to read your stuff, and are very frustrating. My experience thus far with DFJ: Esprit, particularly with Nic Brisbourne, have been completely different and very refreshing.
